ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan Oktar was
born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and secondary educa-
tion in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and phi-
losophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books
on political, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as
the author of important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, their
invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and such bloody
ideologies as fascism and communism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 60 different languages, constitute a
collection for a total of more than 45,000 pages with 30,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and Yahya
(John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought against their
peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is symbolic and
is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), last of the
prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the
Prophet [may Allah bless him and grant him peace]), the author makes it his
purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to
have the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised against
religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace), who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of
his intention to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to convey the Qur'an's
message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-related issues such as
Allah's existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious sys-
tems' feeble foundations and perverted ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many coun-
tries, from India to America, England to Indonesia,
Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil, Malaysia to Italy,
France to Bulgaria and Russia. Some of his books
are available in English, French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian,
Chinese, Swahili, Hausa, Dhivehi (spoken in
Mauritius), Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian),
Polish, Malay, Uygur Turkish, Indonesian,
Bengali, Danish and Swedish.
